About the Event

In this workshop, attendees will get hands-on experience with the AWS platform. As one of many workshops to come, we’ll touch on getting started with the basics, and focus on the most popular AWS services to quickly get your workloads running on the platform. For most users, these services are vital to a successful implementation and consumption of cloud services moving forward.

Wisconsin sessions will be led by the following AHEAD experts:

Greg Thursam, Senior Technical Architect

BryanKrausen, Technical Architect

Participants should bring a personal laptop to access the AWS platform, along with a pre-established AWS account. AHEAD will provide each attendee with service credits to cover costs associated with the workshop.
